Season of Flowers

 This year's cherry blossoms peak coincided with a beautiful day in the District

We braved the crowds and joined in on the fun



But even after the fleeting blossoms fell, the city had more blooms in store



We spent an evening walking from Georgetown to the planet art at the Kennedy Center (minus Mars, which apparently rolled away before we arrived)




Then we greeted visiting family from India



and visited even more family gathered from all over the world in New Jersey!



Mother's Day lunch back in Arlington


In other news, we have concluded many weekends of visiting open houses and hiding in small spaces and will be building a new home!


Until the house is built, we will stay put in our current neighborhood.  Bonus:  money-making opportunities of 3D prints at the local lemonade stand










International Holidays

 We made a getaway to the Dominican Republic during a cold spell in January and were rewarded by beautiful views, warm weather...



...water parks...


...beautiful beaches...


...and ziplining!




In May, I traveled to beautiful Copenhagen where I gave a talk at the university, wandered around the city, and enjoyed delicious food
